City Flag[edit]

I think the City of Abbotsford flag should be displayed in the article the way it is in the Vancouver City article.

High crime rate[edit]

Should it not be mentioned that Abbotsford has the 2nd highest crime rate of any CMA in Canada. Here it is on Statcan's website. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/090421/t090421b3-eng.htm

Cityscape image[edit]

The old photo was mostly a photo of nearby mission therefore it is not an accurate depiction of the abbotsford cityscape. Koopertrooper (talk) 21:10, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You replaced it with this low-quality image of a lake. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:52, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A lake which is the focal point of the city centre and not a picture of a neighbouring city Koopertrooper (talk) 21:59, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please update this with the 2021 census data that was released on 10/26/2022.[edit]

Contemporary period[edit]

I don’t think it’s appropriate to discus manuregate and crime in this section. These items could be mentioned in other sections, but maybe better topics in Contemporary Period could include a description of the annual Agrifair and the Canada Day parade and the Abbotsford Airshow, or how Abbotsford has the country’s highest charitable giving per capita, or that it’s the Raspberry Capital of Canada, or mention some of large private employers like Cascade Aerospace and that Abbotsford is the home of world renowned Conair Aviation, or list some high achieving athletes that come from Abbotsford

let’s highlight things that contribute to civic pride instead of shame, you know? 24.51.238.76 (talk) 02:39, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
